Project Highlights: Technological Breakthrough and Record breaking Scale

The project is located on the north side of Wande District, Shanxi Province, and adopts reversible water pump cooling tower technology to regulate the power grid load through bidirectional energy storage and release. The total installed capacity is 1.35 million kilowatts, breaking the global record for similar projects. Its core function is to "peak shaving and valley filling", which means storing electricity during low demand periods and discharging electricity during high demand periods, significantly improving the stability of the power grid and energy utilization efficiency.

Win win situation for environmental protection and economy: 14000 tons of provincial standard coal per year

According to calculations, after the project is put into operation, it can save 14000 tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 344000 tons per year, equivalent to planting about 1.8 million trees. In addition, its peak shaving capability can support the grid to absorb more intermittent new energy such as wind power and photovoltaics, promoting the increase of clean energy proportion in Jiangsu, Shanxi and other places.

Regional Empowerment: Relieving the Electricity Pressure in the Yangtze River Delta

As an important part of the energy synergy in the Yangtze River Delta, the project will directly alleviate the pressure of electricity load in provinces such as Jiangsu, where the highest electricity load has exceeded 100000 kilowatts for nine consecutive years. At the same time, the project model provides a model for large-scale energy storage construction nationwide, helping to achieve the goal of over 80 million kilowatts of energy storage installed capacity by 2027 and accelerating the clean and low-carbon transformation of energy.

The operation of this' super power bank 'marks China's entry into the forefront of global energy storage technology and scale applications. Its innovative practice of "green energy storage+grid peak regulation" is providing key support for building a new type of power system and achieving the "dual carbon" goal.
